I have been riding with the Continental Road Attack tires for a week now. I went with the 160 rear and there is a little difference in the handeling. I have rode Deals Gap twice this week, and the Cherohala Skyway. I am very happy with the performance, tires stick to the road great with no slips, I was able to increase my speed from the stock Dunlops. Going into corners you do have to push a little harder on the bars to initiate the turn, and same on coming out of corners. While going through a curve the bike tracks great, and holds the line better. Best way to explain performance is that the bike feels connected to the road through the twisties. Great tires.

I was comparing the handling of the stock tires with 150 rear to running a 160 rear. With a 160 your cornering is not as quick and you have to push a little more on the bars when your cornering.
So far I like the Road Attacks, hopefully I will get decent mileage out of them.25 minutes from the Cherohala, 30 minutes to overlook (Deals Gap)
